CORESTAFF Services Reviews

Former Employee – worked at CORESTAFF Services full-time for less than a year

Pros – You get paid everyweek. They really try to find you a job in a timely manner, However you must call in a lot to keep on the update list. I feel they really try to help find a job for you.

Cons – They are slow to return emails and phone calls. They turn over rate for the employment counselors are high. One day you can call and talk to one and email them questions and the next day they are gone.

Advice to Senior Management – Would it be to much to ask if you can keep in touch with ex-employees that call in available on a weekly basis. Maybe stop and tell them what is available and see in if they are interested? It is very frustrating to call in and say I am still looking and the counselor says okay bye bye.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

Former Employee – worked at CORESTAFF Services full-time for more than 3 years

Pros – The employees at CORESTAFF were nice. Easy time sheet software, The company I was placed at was a good company.

Cons – No new jobs available. I did not receive a pay raise in four years even though I was very good and was given new responsibilities. I asked for a better position but was never offered one. It seemed like they wanted me to stay at that job weather I liked it or not. According to their website, there are no jobs available in Virginia or Maryland at all anymore and only one in DC.

Advice to Senior Management – If there are any jobs available, post them on your website. It seems like it is not updated very often.

Pros – Flexible work environment regarding business attire and working hours.

Cons – Probably the lowest paid agency, and no bonuses, incentives, or raises; poor direction by management

Advice to Senior Management – If you want your employees to succeed, challenge them to rise above the rest. Most workers will not rise to the occation without decent pay or an incentive to do well.

Current Employee – been working at CORESTAFF Services as a contractor for less than a year

Pros – They do appear to pay slightly better than average. They also have a decent website, which can be used to search for positions.

Cons – They are not staffed or managed well enough to deal with large-scale hiring. Poor communication regarding what job you are going to be doing, when you start, and how much you will be paid (kind of important stuff, don't you think?).

Advice to Senior Management – Get your act together, before you lose the large clients you have somehow managed to get. You probably spend too much effort recruiting and not enough managing existing recruits you have on board.

Current Employee – been working at CORESTAFF Services for more than a year

Pros – One of the best recruiters in the metro area. They work hard to place you in assignments that will become permanent and advance your career and the pay is pretty generous for a temp agency. They also have a network of contacts that allows a broad range of assignments throughout the metro area.

Cons – They can be the best kept secret ,as they have contracts with some very prestigious companies, but many people don't know about them.

Pros – Middle management to lower level senior management is very friendly and supportive.

Cons – Absent upper senior management and very top down management system. Been cutting benefits back the past few years. Cut 401K match in 2009 as a "temporary" measure. Went from saying maybe well bring back next year to we'll possibly look that that in a few years.

Former Employee – worked at CORESTAFF Services

Pros – Gets you in the door of a large IT company
Gives you a taste of working for a large IT company without having to be a full-timer

Cons – Recruiters there don't seem to take their jobs seriously; mine got my start date wrong and then came up with a bunch of excuses for her mistake. Meanwhile I'm out another week's salary... Additionally, she gave me the wrong dates and times for interviews, and gave me the wrong end date for the contract...Also, I heard from others who worked with Corestaff as contractors that my experience was similar to theirs.

Advice to Senior Management – Train your people to be more upfront and knowledgeable.
